Prithviraj Sukumaran 9 hrs · EeMaYau ———- Seldom does a film work on so many counts and at such different levels. Lijo Jose Pallisery’s EeMaYau is a piece of art that will stand out as a glorious achievement in film making forever and more. To choose a premise that is seemingly insignificant within the wider canvas of society, and make a film on it that connects at such a personal level to anyone and everyone who watches it is sheer genius. #ChembanVinodJose shows you that he occupies a space in our cinema that belongs only to him and #Vinayakan once again reminds you how remarkable talent can be left undiscovered for a very long time. #PaulyValsan will from here on take a path that many of our greats have, and having worked with her, I know it’s time she got her due! #KainakaryThankaraj will haunt you..and that’s the magic of carefully honed skill and years of polishing your own expertise in Kerala’s grossly underrated theatre arena. Add to that, what is now a signature of Lijo’s films...Scores of completely new actors who are so good, that they make you feel like a voyeur in a world that truly belongs to them. I have been a fan of #ShyjuKhalid ever since his first film. But to find imagery against such grave backdrops and yet transform the camera into a participant in every moment of joy, grief, desperation and satire is awe inspiring even by Shyju’s standards. #PFMathews is such an eclectic writer. I have heard multiple ideas from him..and each one left me spellbound. His delightfully simple take on life’s most complex facets is what makes #EeMaYau so endearing. Can’t wait to embody one of his characters! And no..I’m not going to say anything about Lijo. As notoriously elaborate my vocabulary is, I think I’m out of words for him by now. I will sign off though..by saying this much.. May you forever be this crazy my friend! #EeMaYau
